In Colour
HeyHiHello! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The rocket that sits in my garage
It runs on hopes and dreams
And it?s bursting at the seams to get out of this town now!
I?ve got a map of the universe and don?t know where to go first- But I?ll bring back a souvenir

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight
And somehow, I?d be dreaming in broad daylight
[I have to wonder]

Here I am, a hopeful rocketeer
With space exploration gear
There?s room enough for two
That?s why I?m glad I found you here!
We?ll go to Jupiter and Mars
Far above the roads and cars
So high up in the air

Here, I thought that I was floating down..

And sleeping with eyes closed tight
And somehow, I?d be dreaming in broad daylight
And when I dream about you so late at night

That?s when I dream in colour so true and bright [that I have to wonder]

Late nights spent on the avenue
Bright lights illuminate the city view
The air is clear and you can see for miles around
So high above the earth?s atmosphere
Gravity can no longer hold me captive here
When I?m awake all I think about is seeing your town

I thought that I was hearing a symphony
Filled with strings that played in twelve part harmony
And everywhere I go they follow me
Through the air they play in colour that you can see!

Here, I thought that I was sleeping with eyes closed tight
And somehow, I?d be dreaming in broad daylight




And when I dream about you so late at night
That?s when I dream in colour so true and bright [that I have to wonder]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of HeyHiHello!'s song, "In Colour," describe a sense of yearning for freedom and adventure. The singer has a rocket in their garage, fueled by hopes and dreams, that they are desperate to launch to escape their town. They have a map of the universe but no idea where to go first, and they want to explore space with someone they care about. The song's chorus features the lyrics "Late nights spent on the avenue / Bright lights illuminate the city view / The air is clear and you can see for miles around / So high above the earth's atmosphere / Gravity can no longer hold me captive here / When I'm awake all I think about is seeing your town," which describe the thrill and excitement of exploration and the desire to share it with someone special.


The lyrics also contain a dreamlike quality, with the singer feeling as though they are dreaming in broad daylight and hearing a symphony playing in twelve-part harmony wherever they go. They dream of their special someone, and when they dream about them, it's in "colour so true and bright." The song's overall message is one of hope, freedom, and adventure, with a hint of romance and a reminder that life is meant to be lived to the fullest.
